First Impression
Walk into True Legends and the 230-inch screen is running the game, the beer taps are flowing, and the wine list is... actually not embarrassing. For a lively sports bar in Liberty Lake, the fact that they're pouring Barrister and BookWalter instead of just Barefoot is a small win worth acknowledging.
Selection Deep Dive
The list runs 20-30 bottles deep and stays firmly in Washington State and Pacific Northwest territory — which, honestly, is the right call for this zip code. You've got Barrister Rough Justice repping Spokane's own backyard, BookWalter Chardonnay from the Columbia Valley, and Maryhill Pinot Gris keeping it regional. The weak link is the presence of Clos Du Bois Pinot Noir, which feels like it wandered in from a hotel mini-bar and has no business sitting next to the local producers.
By the Glass
Twelve by-the-glass options is genuinely solid for a sports bar, and the $5–$15 price window keeps things accessible. The spread covers enough ground that you can drink local without just defaulting to whatever the bartender pours on autopilot.
Maryhill Pinot Gris — $8
Maryhill consistently punches above its weight in the Columbia Gorge, and getting it by the glass at sports bar prices while watching a game is exactly the kind of low-key win this list was built for.
Barrister Rough Justice
Most people at a sports bar are reaching for a beer or a bourbon, which means this Spokane-made red from one of the region's most respected small producers gets overlooked constantly. It shouldn't. Barrister knows what they're doing and Rough Justice is the proof.
Clos Du Bois Pinot Noir
When the rest of the list is repping legitimate Pacific Northwest producers, Clos Du Bois sticks out like a sore thumb. It's a mass-market California label at a price that doesn't justify choosing it over anything else on this list.
Ste Michelle Syrah + Steak
Ste. Michelle's Syrah has the dark fruit and peppery backbone to stand up to a proper steak, and at these price points you're not overthinking it — you're just eating well.
✔️ The Bottom Line
True Legends isn't a wine destination, but it earns its keep by committing to Washington producers and keeping prices honest. Send a friend here if they want to catch a game and drink something better than the usual sports bar swill.
